MOSCOW, June 2. /TASS/. Russia, in response to the anti-Russian rhetoric of British officials, imposed retaliatory sanctions against five British reporters and experts, the Foreign Ministry said.
According to the ministry, the provocative anti-Russian rhetoric of British officials, which spread misinformation about Russia, as well as London's practical steps to pump up the Kiev regime with weapons and military equipment indicate the unrelenting attitude of the leadership of the United Kingdom to continue a tough systemic confrontation with Russia.
"In response to these hostile actions, it was decided to expand the Russian stop list with several representatives of the British journalistic and expert community involved in the dissemination of slanderous speculation and false information about the policy of the Russian leadership and socio-political events in our country, as well as calling for maintaining and increasing pressure on Moscow under the pretext of responding to the special military operation. In addition, the list includes the heads of security-related British companies involved in recruiting personnel for the neo-Nazi regime under the pretext of implementing pseudo-humanitarian projects in Ukraine," the Foreign Ministry said.
